I believe the setSelectedRange should be ([position - (endPos - startPos), position]) otherwise it will consume from the start in some cases.

I wonder if anyone have this problem like me, try to edit your post , add some text and save and tell me what happen . On my side after creating my post with mention ,my post doesn't save my changes .

[@bogdanGri]

Actually in JS it should be: @trixEditor.setSelectedRange([startPos, position]) otherwise it will delete whole line.

Thanks for the video. How can I capture the user in my controller so I can create a notification for them?

[@eFFecTzz56]

Hi, thanks for video. How I can check attachments from Trix (action text) in active record validations ? Thanks .

[@flightrecord5734]

Hi Chris! Is there a way to email the users who are mentioned?

[@GorailsTV]

Just covered that on today's episode!

[@dbelyaev]

Chris, there is another extra required feature for Trix: Inserting KZbin videos into the editor. Maybe with button and popup, maybe just on Paste event. Please, make a movie on that topic.

[@GorailsTV]

They don't really recommend embedding KZbin videos directly in Trix. Basecamp actually embeds the preview image in Trix and then renders out the actual video later. Could make an episode on that with ActionText. github.com/basecamp/trix/issues/206#issuecomment-198479999

[@dbelyaev]

@@GorailsTV please, make it. It's necessary to make this topic clear.

[@dbelyaev]

@@GorailsTV I don't understand why WordPress community can create fully-featured instance of Tinymce (classic) with KZbin, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram embeds, and why others like 37 signals cannot.

[@dbelyaev]

Why it's so easy to embed KZbin videos with, for example, SummerNote (summernote.org)? And there is too much troubles with Trix. I don't understand.

[@Pulleasy]

@@GorailsTV Please do. I'm currently struggling with this as well.
